Dragon's Dogma was originally released in 2012 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and in our review we said "Dragon’s Dogma has the scale and challenge of a great action RPG, but not the character or polish. Nonetheless, if you can persist, there’s a lot to love here, and some great ideas that make you want to give it a chance."

Capcom released a major expansion in 2013, titled Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, and it added adjustments to gameplay and 10 to 15 hours of new content that was designed to bolster the game's post-game.

While it remains to be seen if a sequel will happen, a successful run on the Nintendo Switch certainly couldn't hurt its chances when it launches on April 23, 2019.
